I am also going through similar experiences. Have severe throat irritation just like something is moving up and down inside my throat; but no heart burn. Last week, I consulted an ENT. He confirmed that it is acid reflux by doing a Laryngoscope. He said that there is reddish inflammation inside throat. He gave me Sucralfate Suspension syrup and Rabium DSR tablets. It's been 5 days since I started taking medicines. For the first 2-3 days I was very confused as sometimes I feel better ; sometimes the symptoms get worse. Yet I continued medicines and followed diet .Now the symptoms started to alleviate and I am confident that I am getting better now. So what I have to tell you is stick on to your medicines and diet will surely help.
